  1. Whether you’re a seasoned golf fan or someone who only has a vague awareness of the sport’s existence, Full Swing is a great way to latch onto the inherent drama behind the competition.
  2. Bosch: Legacy is pulpy, procedural fun in the tradition of both Bosch and the storied, sometimes sordid history of fictional Los Angeles gumshoes that dates all the way back to Phillip Marlowe.
  3. It demystifies our view of the competition, with all its ceremonial grandiosity, sweeping music and heart-tugging TV profiles. It takes our perception of these impenetrable sports heroes and turns it upside-down.
  4. Knuckles is a fun, light show that has just enough edge to keep parents engaged, but is completely suitable for the whole family.
  5. The Responder continues to be a compelling watch, mainly because Martin Freeman is so good at barely containing Chris Carson’s rage.
  6. A well-organized script and some fantastic performances makes the expansive story of Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist an engaging, fun show to watch.
  7. Alan Cumming’s Paradise Homes benefits from the cheeky presence of the Scottish actor, transforming a dry topic into a show that’s warm and funny.
  8. Mike Judge’s Beavis And Butt-Head is more or less the same show that was such a hit in the ’90s. And because it’s about idiots doing dumb things, the funny stuff will always be funny, no matter what decade it is.
  9. This show honors them and their hard work and you can’t help but feel it in your heart.
  10. Frayed tells a funny and hopefully heartwarming story about a woman who has to re-adapt to the place she fled decades ago, and how her pasty and awkward kids might flourish there. It’s not a new concept, but it works here.
  11. Iwájú is a visually fascinating look at a futuristic Nigerian city, with lots of clever character moments and an Afrobeat soundtrack that ties it all together.
  12. St. Denis Medical arrives incredibly sure of itself, having learned all the best lessons from its predecessors. The cast has chemistry, the scripts are sharp and smart, and the guest star potential is huge.
  13. Doctor Who: Fury From The Deep is a fun way to relive a serial from the show’s 1960’s run that was thought to be lost. The animation is old-school but contemporary, and it enhances what was a good old-fashioned sci-fi serial.
  14. It’s plenty strange and generates big laughs as well as tiny snorts of funniness along the way.
  15. While we didn’t see a lot in The Synanon Fix that we didn’t see in previous Synanon-centric docuseries, the whole phenomenon of Synanon is just so fascinating to watch that we didn’t mind exploring it again, with some new voices to describe their experiences.

    If you’re a pre-existing fan of this series, then you’re likely to enjoy this latest installment that continues to faithfully adapt the overall hilarity, tone, and excitement of Hirohiko Araki’s beloved manga series. But even first-time viewers are likely to get swept away by the colorful characters, fast-moving plot, and absurd humor.
  16. The Greatest Show Never Made is a fun docuseries about a scam that could only have seemed to happen in 2002, at the start of the reality TV frenzy.
  17. If you go into The Barking Murders with the right frame of mind, it’s a tense and emotional drama about Stephen Port’s victims and their families.
  18. Lockerbie: A Search For The Truth is carried by Colin Firth, but its concentration on one man’s quest for the truth also keeps the show’s writers and producers from drifting into melodrama around a real-life terrorist act.
  19. We were so intrigued by how the individual challenges and the team challenges would work, that we played both episodes back to back, and was invested in both. ... Even though there is more at stake with the individual challenges, the team challenges are the more intriguing part of each episode, because this is where the interpersonal relationships come into play.
  20. Nöthin’ But a Good Time: The Uncensored Story of ’80s Hair Metal will bring back tons of memories of the music viewers might have listened to in middle or high school back in the 1980s, but the backstage stories will be what hold the interest of people who didn’t grow up with the music.
  21. We were pleasantly surprised by how mature of a show School Spirits was, not just because of List’s steady lead performance, but because it doesn’t delve in the current cliches that drag down most high-school dramas. In other words, no house parties and no sex scenes (yet); it’s just a fun, ghostly mystery to watch.
  22. Slip is certainly a tour de force for Zoe Lister-Jones, but it’s also funny and touching, and it may have a more positive message about marriage and long-term relationships than it seems to have at first blush.
  23. With fine performances and spectacular cinematography, the new version of All Creatures Great And Small will definitely make fans of Herriot’s books want to go back and revisit them, and it will also bring new fans into the fold.
  24. There’s an inherent charm to bowling. Born to Bowl capably channels that charm, and it’s a fun watch.
  25. This version is updated with interesting plots, clever dialogue, and lots of pop culture references. While some pre-teens will enjoy it, it feels like the target audience skews a touch older thanks to some genuine creepiness throughout.
  26. High On The Hog is not only informative, but makes a real emotional connection between food and the history behind it, and a lot of that is thanks to the “relaxed intensity” of Satterfield.
  27. Turning Point: The Vietnam War is a thoughtful, meticulous and considered examination of the U.S.’s involvement in Vietnam and how it changed how we saw our government.
  28. The Chair is funny as heck with some earned moments of real emotion, and a killer cast. Six episodes flew by, and we hope to see more of Pembroke’s English department soon.
  29. While the reenactments in Equal were distracting, we were enlightened by this examination of a piece of history we knew little about, and enjoyed what Porter brought to the project via a narration style only Porter could pull off.
